5.4.1
Each Chargor shall forthwith deposit with the Administrative Agent or as the Administrative Agent may direct all bearer instruments, share certificates and other documents of title or evidence of ownership in relation to such Group Shares as are owned by it or in which it has or acquires an interest and their Related Rights and shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent all such share transfers and other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent in order to enable the Administrative Agent or its nominees to be registered as the owner or otherwise to obtain a legal title to the same (in each case for the purpose of the mortgage and charge of the Security Shares under this Deed) and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall deliver (for such purpose) to the Administrative Agent on today's date executed (and, if required to be stamped, pre-stamped) share transfers for all Group Shares in favour of the Administrative Agent and/or its nominee(s) as transferees or, if the Administrative Agent so directs, with the transferee left blank and shall procure that all such share transfers are at the request of the Administrative Agent forthwith registered by the relevant company and that share certificates in the name of the Administrative Agent and/or such nominee(s) in respect of all Group Shares are forthwith delivered to the Administrative Agent.

Each Chargor shall provide the Administrative Agent with certified copies of all resolutions and authorisations approving the execution of such transfer forms and registration of such transfers as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

5.4.3

No Chargor shall without the previous consent in writing of the Administrative Agent exercise the voting rights attached to any of the Group Shares in favour of resolutions having the effect of changing the terms of the Group Shares (or any class of them) or any Related Rights or prejudicing the security under this Deed or impairing the value of the Security Shares save as permitted under the Loan Documents. After an Enforcement Event has occurred, each Chargor hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent or its nominees its proxy to exercise (as provided in or permitted by this Deed) all voting rights so long as the Group Shares belonging to it remain registered in its name.

5.4.4
Each Chargor during the continuance of this security will make all payments which may become due in respect of any of the Security Shares and, in the event of default in making any such payment, the Administrative Agent may if it thinks fit make such payment on behalf of each

    Chargor. Any sums so paid by the Administrative Agent shall be repayable by the relevant Chargor to the Administrative Agent on demand and pending such repayment shall constitute part of the Secured Liabilities.

5.4.5
It is expressly agreed that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Deed, each Chargor shall remain liable to observe and perform all of the conditions and obligations assumed by it in respect of the Security Shares and the Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation or liability by reason of or arising out of the security over the Security Shares conferred by this Deed. The Administrative Agent shall not be required in any manner to perform or fulfil any obligation of any Chargor in respect of the Security Shares, or to make any payment, or to receive any enquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by them, or to present or file any claim or take any other action to collect or enforce the payment of any amount to which they may have been or to which they may be entitled under this Deed at any time or times.

5.4.6
Subject to the proviso to Clause 2(d), upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter while the same is continuing the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to put into force and exercise immediately as and when it may see fit any and every power possessed by the Administrative Agent by virtue of the security over the Security Shares conferred by this Deed or available to a secured creditor (so that Sections 93 and 103 of the Law of Property Act 1925 shall not apply to this security) and in particular (without limitation):

(a)
to sell all or any of the Security Shares in any manner permitted by law upon such terms as the Administrative Agent shall in its absolute discretion determine;

(b)
to collect, recover or compromise and give a good discharge for any monies payable to any Chargor in respect of the Security Shares or in connection therewith; and

(c)
to act generally in relation to the Security Shares in such manner as the Administrative Agent acting reasonably shall determine.

5.4.7
For the avoidance of doubt, each Chargor agrees that the enforceability of the security over the Security Shares conferred by this Deed is not dependent on the performance or non-performance by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of its obligations under any agreement with any Chargor.

5.4.8
Immediately on conversion of any of the Group Shares from certificated to certificated form, and on the creation or conversion of any other securities which are for the time being comprised in the Security Shares in or into uncertificated form, each Chargor shall give such instructions or directions as the Administrative Agent may require in order to protect or preserve its security.

5.4.9
Each Chargor shall, immediately upon receipt of any certificate or other document evidencing any entitlement to further Security Shares, deposit it with the Administrative Agent together with such share transfer forms in blank and other documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

6      When Security becomes Enforceable

    The security constituted by this Deed shall become immediately enforceable and the power of sale and other powers conferred by section 101 of the Law of Property Act 1925, as varied or amended by this Deed, shall be immediately exercisable upon and at any time after the occurrence of any Event of Default and whilst the same is continuing after which the Administrative Agent may enforce all or any part of the security in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

The statutory powers of leasing conferred on the Administrative Agent are extended so that, without the need to comply with any provision of section 99 or 100 of the Law of Property Act 1925, the Administrative Agent is empowered to lease, make agreements for leases, accept surrenders of leases and grant options as the Administrative Agent may think fit.

7.2   Administrative Agent of the Chargors

    For all purposes each Receiver is deemed to be in the same position as a Receiver duly appointed by a mortgagee under the Law of Property Act 1925. Every Receiver shall be the agent of the Chargor in respect of which he was appointed unless and until a liquidator shall be appointed of that Chargor, whereafter such Receiver shall act as principal but shall not become the agent of the Administrative Agent. That Chargor alone shall be responsible for the receiver's contracts, engagements, commissions, omissions, defaults and losses and for liabilities incurred by him. The Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability of whatsoever nature (either to the Chargors or to any other person) by reason of the Administrative Agent making his appointment as a Receiver or for any other reason.

7.3   Mortgagee in Possession—No Liability

    None of the Administrative Agent, any other Secured Party or any Receiver will be liable, by reason of entering into possession of a Security Asset, to account as mortgagee in possession or for any loss on realisation or for any default or omission for which a mortgagee in possession might otherwise be liable.

7.4   Privileges

    Each Receiver and the Administrative Agent is entitled to all the rights, powers, privileges and immunities conferred by the Law of Property Act 1925 on mortgagees and receivers when such receivers have been duly appointed under that Act, except that section 103 of that Act does not apply.

7.5   Protection of third parties

    No person (including a purchaser) dealing with the Administrative Agent or a Receiver or its or his agent need enquire:

    (a)
    whether the Secured Liabilities have become payable; or

    (b)
    whether any power purported to be exercised has become exercisable; or

    (c)
    whether any money remains due; or

    (d)
    how any money paid to the Administrative Agent or to the Receiver is to be applied.

10


7.6   Redemption of prior Mortgages

    At any time after the security constituted by this Deed has become enforceable, the Administrative Agent or any Receiver may, in the case of the Administrative Agent at the sole cost of the Chargors (payable to the Administrative Agent on demand) and in the case of a Receiver as an expense of the Receiver's receivership;

    (a)
    redeem any interest by way of security for the time being and from time to time ranking in point of security in priority to any of the security constituted by this Deed; and/or

    (b)
    (in the case of a redemption by the Administrative Agent) procure the transfer of that interest by way of security to itself; and/or

    (c)
    settle and pass the accounts of any prior mortgagee, chargee or encumbrancer which once so settled and passed shall be conclusive and binding on the Chargors.

8      Receiver

8.1   Appointment of Receiver

    At any time after the security constituted by this Deed becomes enforceable, or, at any time if so requested by any Chargor in writing, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obliged) without further notice (and whether or not the relevant Chargor shall have been accorded sufficient or any time in which to satisfy any relevant indebtedness) from time to time, and notwithstanding that, if such be the case, one or more than one Receiver shall have been appointed in respect of all or any of the Security Assets pursuant to this Clause and not removed from such Security Assets, appoint in writing, under the hand of any manager of the Administrative Agent, a Receiver of the Security Assets or any of them and, where so requested by a Chargor, whether or not those Security Assets shall belong to that Chargor.

8.2   Relationship with the Administrative Agent

    To the fullest extent permitted by law, any right, power or discretion conferred by this Deed (be it express or implied) upon a Receiver of any Security Assets may, after the security created by this Deed has become enforceable, be exercised by the Administrative Agent in relation to any Security Asset either:

    (a)
    without first appointing a Receiver; or

    (b)
    notwithstanding the appointment of a Receiver.

8.3   Removal

    The Administrative Agent may by writing under its hand (subject to Section 45 of the Insolvency Act 1986 (any requirement for an order of the court in the case of an administrative receiver)):

    (a)
    remove any Receiver appointed by it; and

    (b)
    whenever it deems it necessary or desirable, appoint a new Receiver in the place of any Receiver whose appointment may for any reason have terminated.

8.4   Remuneration

    The Administrative Agent may, from time to time, fix the remuneration of any Receiver and direct payment of the same out of monies accruing to him in the exercise of his powers, authorities and discretions by or pursuant to this Deed, but the Chargor in respect of which any Receiver shall have been appointed shall alone be liable for the payment of that remuneration.

13


    purpose of exercising any of the powers, authorities and discretions conferred on the Receiver by or pursuant to this Deed and to use the name of the relevant Chargor for all or any of such powers, authorities and discretions, for which purpose the relevant Chargor hereby irrevocably appoints every such Receiver to be its attorney.

11    Expenses and Indemnity

    Promptly upon demand, each Chargor shall pay all other costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and VAT) incurred from time to time in connection with the enforcement of or preservation of rights under this Deed by the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties or any Receiver, attorney, manager, agent (including their counsel) or other person appointed by the Administrative Agent under this Deed or by statute, and keep each of them indemnified against any failure or delay in paying the same.

16


15.5 Immediate recourse

    Each Chargor waives any right it may have of first requiring the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any person before enforcing the security constituted by this Deed. This waiver applies irrespective of any law or any provision of a Loan Document to the contrary.

15.6 Appropriations

    At any time after the security constituted by this Deed has become enforceable and until all the Secured Liabilities have been irrevocably paid in full, the Administrative Agent may:

    (a)
    refrain from applying or enforcing any other monies, security or rights held or received by the Administrative Agent in respect the Secured Liabilities, or apply and enforce the same in accordance with Clause 10 and no Chargor shall be entitled to the benefit of the same; and

    (b)
    hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any monies received from any Chargor or on account of any Chargor's liability in respect of the Secured Liabilities.

15.7 Deferral of Chargors' rights

    Until all the Secured Liabilities have been irrevocably paid in full and unless the Administrative Agent otherwise directs, no Chargor will exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Loan Documents:

    (a)
    to be indemnified by any other Chargor or any Loan Party;

    (b)
    to claim any contribution from any other guarantor of any other Chargor's or Loan Party's obligations under the Loan Documents; and/or

    to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any of the Administrative Agent's rights under the Loan Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Loan Documents by the Administrative Agent.

16    Miscellaneous

16.1 Covenant to pay

    Each Chargor shall pay or discharge the Secured Liabilities in the manner provided for in any document creating or evidencing the Secured Liabilities and/or otherwise as agreed from time to time.

(as agent and trustee for itself and others) referred to in the charges register or, if appropriate, signed on such proprietor's behalf by an authorised officer of Bank of America, N.A.

17


    (b)
    a notice that under the provisions of this Deed the Secured Parties are under an obligation to make further advances.

16.3 New Accounts

    If any Secured Party receives, or is deemed to be affected by, notice, whether actual or constructive, of any subsequent charge or other interest affecting any Security Asset and/or the proceeds of sale of any Security Asset, such Secured Party may open a new account for any Chargor. If such Secured Party does not open a new account, it shall nevertheless be treated as if it had done so at the time when it received or was deemed to have received notice. As from that time all payments made to such Secured Party will be credited or be treated as having been credited to the new account and will not operate to reduce any amount for which this Deed is security and, furthermore, such Secured Party shall be under no obligation to advance any monies or provide or continue to provide any credit facility under the Loan Documents.

16.4 Tacking

    Each Secured Party, by the Administrative Agent's execution of this Deed, covenants with each Chargor that it shall perform its obligations under any document creating or evidencing the Secured Liabilities (including any obligation to make available further advances).

16.5 Separate Charges

    This Deed shall, in relation to each Chargor, be read and construed as if it were a separate Deed relating to such Chargor to the intent that if any Lien created by any other Chargor in this Deed shall be invalid or liable to be set aside for any reason, this shall not affect any Lien created under this Deed by such first Chargor.

16.6 Invalidity

    If, at any time, any provision of this Deed is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired.

    Upon the expiry of the Security Period (but not otherwise), the Administrative Agent shall, at the request and cost of the Chargors, take whatever action is necessary to release the Security Assets from the security constituted by this Deed and/or reassign the benefit of the Security Assets to the Chargors.

18    Rights and Remedies

    The rights of the Administrative Agent under this Deed are cumulative, may be exercised as often as considered appropriate and are in addition to the general law. Such rights (whether arising hereunder or under the general law) shall not be capable of being waived or varied otherwise than by an express waiver or variation in writing and, in particular, any failure to exercise or delay in exercising any of such rights shall not operate as a waiver or variation of that or any other such

18


    right, any defective or partial exercise of any such rights shall not preclude any other or further exercise of that or any other such right, and no act or course of conduct or negotiation by the Administrative Agent or on its behalf shall in any way preclude it from exercising any such right or constitute a suspension or any variation of any such right.
